Thank you for your feedback. I'd like to touch on some of your points, Airwallex has grown a lot over the past 12 months and that has resulted in a lot of progression opportunities for employees. There is definitely pressure to keep growing and improving, hopefully we can balance this with a healthy work life balance and respect/recognition. Thank you again for taking the time to raise your concerns.

Pros

Airwallex manages to hire a lot of sharp young talents, with whom it's a pleasure to work with.

Cons

The culture of any company is set from the top, and in Airwallex the top stinks. The CEO is arrogant, impatient (not in the good way), and reacts rudely whenever anything isn't perfectly aligned to what he thinks or understands to be correct. Most feedbacks are laced with sarcasm or contempt, and the tone of impatience is ever present. This attitude gets passed on to the middle management, who either have to shoulder immense stress at having to manage the boss, or pass the crap on to the lower levels since the general culture lets people get away with treating staff with little respect. There is zero benefit of doubt here, everything is micromanaged, scrutinised, and questioned. Be prepared to defend every single little action item to death - and yes, it is as exhausting as it sounds.

Thank you again for taking the time to raise your concerns around the leadership team. It saddens us to hear about your experience as we believe in empowering our employees to be autonomous so that each individual can bring their whole selves to work each and every day.
